Closed for Renovation

Comfort-Inspired

Locally Sourced × Nut-free kitchen

Murgatroid has closed until further notice for retooling and renovation.

Murgatroid opened in September 2014 and is located a half-block south of Wellesley on Parliament St. Local-sourcing is at the heart of Murgatroid's mission to create excellent, approachable food based on classic recipes.

Murgatroid's build-out is locally-focused also. The tables were made by Forever Interiors from 100-year old BC fir originally used to frame homes near the studio; as those homes are demolished to make way for new developments, the wood is reclaimed and turned into new, useful items.

HOURS

Our Brunch Burger comes with Fully Loaded Canoe Potatoes. It is on our brunch menu, but we can pretty much make this burger any time, so feel free to request it whenever you find yourself craving a deeply satisfying bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg and just a touch of maple.

Murgatroid Sandwich and Canoe Potatoes

Our flagship sandwich, pictured here with a side of our Canoe Potatoes. This is an excellent combination. With a non-alcoholic drink, it comprises a sandwich combo. Sandwiches, soups, salads, sides and combos are available whenever we are open, in-store, for take-out and for delivery.

Huevos Rancheros

Eggs atop refried beans and crispy tostadas, with salsa and a bit of crumbled Canadian feta (which is very similar to the queso fresco which is traditional). Our salsa changes seasonally, but the dish is always delicious! If you love hot, spicy food, request a dollop of ghost pepper relish when you order.

Pigs in Blankets, Sunny-side Up

What's homier than sausages, wrapped in pancakes, served with fried eggs? We couldn't think of anything, but we threw in a few wedges of potato for good measure.

Eggs Benedict made with carnitas instead of back/Canadian bacon (or ham). We make the English muffin, the ghost pepper relish, the chimichurri, the hollandaise (with our basic homemade fermented hot pepper relish)... Everything on this plate apart from the cheese was made in the restaurant.

Cucumber and Radish Pickles

These liter jars are full of cucumber (left) and salad radish (right) pickles made by natural lactic fermentation of the vegetables. We use these pickles in various menu items and also sell pickles in jars.

Taquitos

We roll our taquitos with nixtamalized corn tortillas, roast chicken, mozzarella and housemade refried black beans. They are served with our seasonal salsa, housemade pepper relish for heat, and full-fat grass-fed plain yogurt in place of sour cream.

Take-outBrunch

These items are available in-store and for takeout & delivery whenever the restaurant is open
